Pendower beach
There is a sandy beach at both Pendower Beach and Carne Beach at all states of the tide. The two beaches join at low tide to form a sandy beach that is roughly a mile long. There are numerous rockpools along the sides of the beach at low tide (below the car park at Pendower Beach and alongside Nare Head on Carne Beach). At low tide, the rock platform stretches all the way from Pendower Beach to Porthbean.
